A rescue plane spots a person floating in a lifeboat​ 55 m directly below and releases an emergency kit with a parachute. The pa

ckage descends with a constant vertical acceleration of 6.91 m/s2 (think that’s ^2). If the horizontal speed of the plane was 70.6 m/s, how far is the package from the lifeboat when it hits the waves?

Answer:

281.7m

Explanation:

Given: A lifeboat is 55m directly below a rescue plane, constant vertical acceleration of 6.91 \text{m}\setminus\text{s}^2, horizontal speed of plane is 70.6 \text{m}\setminus\text{s}

To Find: how far is the package from the lifeboat when it hits the waves

Solution: Verticle distance to cover=55\text{m}

The emergency kit descends with acceleration of 6.91 \text{m}\setminus\text{s}^2

Using second equation of motion

\text{S}=\text{ut}+\frac{1}{2}\text{a}\text{t}^2

initial speed of emergency kit(\text{u})=0

\text{a}=6.91 \text{m}\setminus\text{s}^2

putting in equation

55=0\text{t}+\frac{1}{2}6.91\text{t}^2

\text{t}^2=\frac{55\times2}{6.91}

\text{t}^2=15.92

\text{t}=3.99\text{s}

time taken by kit to hit the wave3.99\text{s}

distace of kit from lifeboat=horizontal distance travelled by emergency kit

horizontal velocity of kit will be same as that of plane as kit is thrown from plane

horizontal distance travelled by emergency kit

using equation of motion

\text{S}=\text{ut}

here \text{u}=70.6\text{m}\setminus\text{s}

\text{S}=70.6\times3.99

\text{S}=281.69\text{m}≅281.7\text{m}

The distance of emergency kit from lifeboat is 281.7\text{m}

55 = (1/2) 6.91 t^2

t = about 4

4 * 71 = 284

Which is true?
Andrew [12]

Answer:

e)  A changing magnetic field produces an electric field.

Explanation:

Ok, we start with a magnetic field and let's study how it affects the motion of a single electron. As the magnetic field changes, it will cause an electromotive force, that moves the electron, and because now we have a moving electron, now we will have an electric field. (Such that the direction of the electromotive force opposes the direction in which the magnetic field changes). This also can be deduced if we look at the third Maxwell's equation:

dE/dx = -dB/dt

This says that the spatial change in an electric field depends on how the magnetic field changes as time pass.

Then the correct option is e)  A changing magnetic field produces an electric field.

Sauron [17]
Hi,

The force that acts on hydraulic machine is heavy therefore the content must be something that cannot be compressed by that kind of force, the gas can easily be compressed while a liquid is nearly impossible to.

Why are computer simulations useful in studying phenomena in the universe?
kenny6666 [7]

Computer simulation is useful because it helps in the prediction of what will likely happen in the future using data from past events.

<h3>What is computer simulation?</h3>
  • This is the use of computer models to represents a hypothetical scenarios that are likely to be obtained in the real world.

Computer simulations are useful in studying phenomena in the universe because they help us to achieve the followings;

  • It helps in the prediction of what will likely happen in the future using data from past events.
  • It saves cost and time of carrying out actual experiments.
  • It can help prevent a disaster that may occur in the future.

a uniform rod is hung at onen end and is partially submerged in water. If the density of the rod is 5/9 than of wter, find the f
34kurt

Answer:

    \frac{h_{liquid} }{ h_{body} } = 5/9

Explanation:

This is an exercise that we can solve using Archimedes' principle which states that the thrust is equal to the weight of the desalted liquid.

         B = ρ_liquid  g V_liquid

let's write the translational equilibrium condition

         B - W = 0

let's use the definition of density

        ρ_body = m / V_body

        m = ρ_body  V_body

        W = ρ_body  V_body  g

we substitute

          ρ_liquid  g  V_liquid = ρ_body  g  V_body

          \frac{\rho_{body}   }{\rho_{liquid} } } =  \frac{V_{liquid}   }{V_{body} } }

In the problem they indicate that the ratio of densities is 5/9, we write the volume of the bar

          V = A h_bogy

Thus

          \frac{V_{liquid} }{V_{1body} } = \frac{ h_{liquid} }{h_{body} }

we substitute

           5/9 = \frac{h_{liquid} }{ h_{body} }

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

The answer is letter b. All of these should be considered when deciding on a report format.

Explanation:

A Professional Report is a type of formal document about a topic or information that is intended for a specific audience or purpose. The report's style of writing needs a lot of knowledge from the writer. Oftentimes, it involves the following important elements: <em>Title, Summary, Body, Discussion, Conclusion and Recommendation. </em>

The writer should write according to his target audience and purpose. He also needs to consider the length of his report, as well as the suitable words and sentences that he should use.

Thus, all of the choices are important in writing a professional report. So, the answer is letter b.
